Indignation

Based on the novel by Philip Roth.

A cerebral, melancholic coming-of-age drama set in 1950s Ohio that grapples with identity, desire, prejudice, and mortality through the eyes of a young Jewish student caught between personal ambition and historical forces.

In 1951, Marcus Messner, a working-class Jewish student from New Jersey, attends a small Ohio college, where he struggles with anti-Semitism, sexual repression, and the ongoing Korean War.
